Paragraph 51
 

 Article 67.6 requires that “the mass media, their elected official, officeholder and free-lance workers are prohibited to propagate for or against parties, parliamentary candidates, or to spread the information, which has signs of political advertisement...” Such a broad restriction raises a question of compatibility with the right to editorial independence of the media.[7] Article 67.6 should be considered for revision to respect the right of editorial independence.
